I wanted to know if advanements in capitalims are only made because they are economically profitable.
E.g. new machines, new medicines....?
I'm not even sure if there's any advancement out there that has been beneficent for all...in the last decades?
What about technological and science progress? How is it handled in capitalism? Or things like ethics and morals...e.g. the right to vote for women, or shorter work day hours....etc.
Are they only used because of profitability?
Isn't there more of a regression in these days instead of any progress?
